Tools of Transformation

Dream Sunday am: Four world leaders lined up horizontal including Vladimir Putin, then myself in the South.

 _______________ world leader

_______________ world leader

_______________ world leader

_______________ world leader Vladimir Putin

_______________ myself

I speak from my heart acknowledging Russia. Putin turns to me eye to eye. Warmth and receptivity moves between us.

My friend is bringing me 16 gourds from the midwest! Rattling has significant change on my physical body. I now say to body, “You can have two bites” and body does so. I say, “You have had enough to eat” and body agrees. For weeks body had been out of control with no filter or boundaries. Rattling has some sort of power that changes this. I have a rawhide rattle with a dull sound...it is not as effective. Gourds work!

An excellent meeting with Transition Olympia in the South. I noticed a light feeling in body as I left the meeting and identified it as Heart Chakra. I love this work! We are booking the film Transition 2.0, I will circulate/sell Transition Free Press at the film, and TO is purchasing newsletters from me. I am selling them at 50% my cost so they can make a small profit. I made contact with Transition Whatcom in the North and will attend an upcoming meeting. I reached out to Transition Snoqualmie Valley in the East and Sustainable Bainbridge in the West. Will see! This N/S/E/W landscape is the same pattern I am rattling around my body. Here is a repetitive pattern over many years! Here are ley lines/Dragon lines!

Is this new activity of scheduling Transition meetings/events and selling a product a precursor to my book S/He Dragon? It is how evolution works in my life and I feel happy! This work is what I came here to do. “No,” True Speech says, “I came here to live in the moment through internal Being.” “Thank you.”  A reminder never to forget First Love that rises from within. Dragon holds this memory in our DNA. Does Dragon "rattle" when it flies? I just now saw Dragon with something around its neck that does rattle.

When something blocks us and persists without logic or reason one can suspect that an outside dark force has interfered with our energy field through chords, attachments, threads, implants, etc. (Robin Alexis has a large vocabulary for this.) Rattling can release these dark patterns and I feel it happen in my body every time I rattle. I keep my rattle with me in the car and shook it good before Governor Jay Inslee’s Climate and Energy announcement today. He talked about tools…yep! Rattle is a transforming tool! There is much to learn from rattle. Hah! A teacher!!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rattle Speaks

3:30 am, unable to sleep. An early Saturday begins. Last night I saw the books on my table by Marianne Williamson and Eldon Taylor. Down river, days ago, I was reading them to assist in letting go of food compulsions. Seeing the books made me realize how unfocused I am in this world and that I live in an ever moving current. Is this an intelligent way to be? I trust this current even in my dark hours. “Trust” is a word that works for me. “Faith” is different as I associate it with religion and dogma. This “relationship” with words is an energetic association.

What is my lesson regarding food issues? Will I ever get to the bottom of this issue? I’ve watched this food relationship flow as I’ve been thrown against shore after shore. This morning, wide awake, I thought about the sound of rattle and “got” that it can assist me in breaking old patterns. This is not any rattle, this a gourd rattle that I paint with symbols I hear and know.

I have had powerful dreams with rattle and its healing sound. I share these dreams in my S/He Dragon book. Now, it looks as if I need to use rattle in this world. I feel hesitant. Is it because it will bring attention to myself? What happens if I step into my power with rattle? Perhaps I will be criticized by Native Indians (some in my Facebook community) and painted “New Age” term because I am white. Rattle will make me accountable in this world because, as an external object, it does make noise and bring attention.

I used rattle this morning after I jumped out of bed. As I attuned (listened within) to my whole aura field my arm and hand responded rattling North, East, South, West, around one direction, then around the opposite direction. This was/is clearing/cleansing. I especially like the rattling “e-motion” above my head and at my Third Eye. It is a Spirit massage! I may not do this exactly the same way the next time. Why? Because I live in the moment and it is impossible for me to memorize how I did something in the past (another reason I am not a good student). I listen and respond from within as each moment is new. So, forget the rules, structures and protocols as I am never certain what is coming through next. And yet, Spirit might show a consisten pattern and design that I am to learn and teach. I learn this for myself and see where/how it resonates in this world.

Can I teach others this way of being and doing? Would it be chaotic if everyone was listening within and responding accordingly? What a cacophony of noise that would make! Or would it be sweet music with new currents of sound dispersing spells, curses, and stagnant patterns?

It’s now 4:30.  Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal - Clean Energy event went well at Bellevue College. Some of us will meet Governor Inslee on Tuesday at another local college as he announces his Energy Plan. I attended a Blessing Way gathering with women. We were told to bring something for the altar. I took the rattle I had purchased in Costa Rica. When it was my turn to share I rattled starting at the head/North circling around one way and then the other. One of the women told me this had an impact on her. The sound snapped her into her core body and the circular motions unified her left and right brain. She said that she wanted more. Such great feedback and validation! An artist friend has a daughter in the Midwest who grows gourds and makes rattles. I hope to purchase some!

I post a lot of shares on FB. One man commented that he didn’t know how we became friends but is glad that we did.  This positive feedback is so rare and so appreciated!

I am using the rattle..a lot...learning as I go. Rattle supports me.

Grandmother Cottonwood

Early in the Earth Day Spring Sustainability panel discussion Dr. Jean Houston was mentioned regarding her contribution to the “larger story.” I am thinking about Jean these days as I am nearly ready to send her my S/He Dragon manuscript. Schedule permitting she has kindly offered to write the foreward. May 7 is a significant day for those of us who submitted Book Proposals to Hay House. Part of me feels that its harvest time and the many seeds I’ve planted are coming to fruition. Another part of me is aware of the many seeds that went a totally different direction than what I thought. One thing I know: Life is full of surprises and the only place to be is at the center of the current/river. May 7 will definitely be the end and the beginning of a new cycle.

I harvested nettles yesterday and visited an old friend, Grandmother Black Cottonwood. I wanted to take our picture and noticed the lines in my face were similar to the fissures in Grandmother Cottonwood. Being in the North of my life as an Elder I get to join others as we adjust to the changes in our bodies. For me the changes are most noticeable via skin. Other changes include the lack of pain in my knees, shoulder and neck as well as my thumb--much better now that I’m letting dishes and housework go and working in the garden for 2 hours maximum. I’m also taking an herbal tincture and adding turmeric to my meals. Aging is natural and when I asked S/He Dragon about this topic S/He says that she is proud of her scales, wrinkles and wounds that give her life story dimension
